The layer between your team's expertise and your product's decisions

Your best people make judgment calls every day that shape how your product works.
It doesn't reach your product.

FieldRules captures the reasoning your team carries — the edge cases, the hard-won instinct, the logic that never made it into a spec — and structures it so every decision your product makes is governed by the people who know best. Not the model's defaults.

Clinical Operations SaaS · operational playbook
Identified from ticket #4112 · Trial site onboarding
IF
A trial site submits their first patient enrollment report within 14 days of activation AND their coordinator headcount is below 3
THEN
Do not auto-advance to full onboarding. Assign a dedicated specialist and schedule a 48-hour check-in before the site goes live with patients.
BECAUSE
Sites this size with fast enrollment timelines are statistically high-dropout in weeks 3–5. Early intervention cuts churn by over half — but only if flagged before the standard onboarding flow locks in.
FieldRules asked
“What would go wrong if this rule didn’t exist?”
Not: “Why does this rule exist?”
Contrastive prompts surface real reasoning — not post-hoc justification.
Only humans write this
We’re deploying AI across the product. I have no idea what logic it’s applying to real decisions — or whose it is.

Why Now

The better AI gets,
the more your people matter.

Everything an agent can do, another agent can replicate. The only thing that can't be replicated is the reasoning your people carry about why your company does things differently.

That reasoning — the conditional judgment, the exception-handling logic, the domain expertise that was never written down — is the layer agents can't scrape, can't reverse-engineer, and can't pattern-match from training data.

FieldRules makes that layer real before it walks out the door.
The part no AI can write

Documentation produces compliance.
FieldRules elicits reasoning.

What documentation produces
IF a trial site submits enrollment within 14 days with <3 coordinators THEN assign specialist & schedule check-in
BECAUSE“Because it's important to catch these early.”
What FieldRules elicits
IF a trial site submits enrollment within 14 days with <3 coordinators THEN assign specialist & schedule check-in
BECAUSE“Sites this size with fast enrollment timelines are statistically high-dropout in weeks 3–5. Early intervention cuts churn by over half — but only if flagged before the standard onboarding flow locks in.”

The first version is what documentation produces. The second is what FieldRules elicits — because it asks “what would go wrong if this rule didn't exist?” instead of “why does this rule exist?”

That single design choice is the difference between compliance and reasoning.

How It Works

Three steps. No new behavior.

01
Logic surfaces from work already happening
FieldRules is designed to detect implicit business logic in the artifacts your team already produces — Jira tickets, Slack threads, code reviews. No new intake forms. No documentation rituals.
02
Domain expert confirms in 30–60 seconds
Designed as a 30–60 second Slack interaction: a card arrives with the detected rule. One tap to confirm, edit, or dismiss. Then the BECAUSE field — always blank until they write it. Their words, their reasoning, their name on it.
03
The rule enters the library
PM specs from it. AI runs on it. Engineer builds from it. The rule is versioned, attributed, and queryable — and by design, when a PM's query hits a gap, the right expert gets a signal that their judgment is needed.
The Two-Way Loop

Two directions.
One library that compounds.

By design, the library doesn’t just collect what experts confirm — it pulls. A PM’s query surfaces a gap, the expert gets a live signal with context, the library grows. Supply meets demand. That’s what makes it a loop.

Supply · forward — what the expert confirms becomes product behavior
01
Ticket → Rule
The expert confirms a rule from a real ticket. IF/THEN/BECAUSE. Attributed, versioned, structured.
02
Rule → Spec
PMs see rule clusters. Each cluster becomes a ticket. One rule, one spec, one feature — provenance chain intact.
03
Spec → Product
Engineers build from the expert’s logic. The feature ships with the operational exception layer baked in from day one.
04
Rules → AI Control
AI agents use confirmed rules as context and harness. They approve, route, and escalate based on your operational logic — not generic model defaults.
ticket → rule → library → product specs + AI control layer
The library is designed to close the loop. Supply feeds product behavior; product behavior surfaces new demand the moment a PM queries the library and finds a gap.
Demand-pull · backward — the PM’s question is what makes the expert write
A
PM queries the library
Before speccing enterprise billing, the PM searches the rule library for what governs it. The query itself is the demand signal.
B
Library surfaces a gap
No matches. The gap is now structured context — not a 404. The system knows who to ask and why it matters.
C
Expert gets a live signal
“The PM needs your expertise on enterprise billing before sending to engineering.” A live ask from a colleague — not a documentation reminder.
D
Library grows from demand
The expert confirms the rule. The PM’s next query gets answered. The next unanswered query becomes the next signal. The library grows from demand — not from documentation obligation.
PM query → library gap → expert signal → rule confirmed → library update
The Metric

Not just what rules exist —
whether they're actually thinking.

Most governance tools count rules. FieldRules measures whether the reasoning behind them is real.

The Reasoning Health Score tracks whether your rule library contains genuine operational judgment or just form-filling. It detects tautology, declining depth, missing consequence-naming — the signals that mean your experts are going through the motions instead of thinking.

Every AI governance tool tells you what rules exist. FieldRules is the only one that tells you whether your rules are actually thinking.
